"Financial Report Shows Hospitals Continue to Post Record Profits in 2007 Approaching $500 Million in Second Qtr – A 35 % Increase Over 2006."
For Massachusetts hospitals and health care facilities.
But here in California, where our health care system is required to treat illegals with no insurance, etc., the hospitals are not so profitable, and some have had to shut down. My sister in law, whose sister is a charge nurse, says there is a critical need for more nursing staff, but hospitals can't afford to hire them. Our governor has requested million of dollars from the federal government to reimburse hospitals for care to illegals that were never paid for.
And another point, people seek low cost health care in Mexico because they have no insurance. And if you have a health problem, insurance, and a home in North Am. and a home in Mexico, wouldn't you choose the best care facility you could get? And would that be in Mexico? And have you ever battled your insurance company over billing? Won't that be fun doing it from another country.
The current healthcare system, its woes, insurance billing system, Medicare, adequately equipped facilities, etc. must all be factored in, and IMHO, it will take years before they're built, staffed with trained professionals, get the billing procedures worked out, build a reputation and turn a profit.
